Stephen's Secure Blog #368
These stories about Stephen began was when he was 10 years old, and
moving to a new part of the country to attend a special school for
gifted students, in the 1950's. This was from a time before computers
would fit on a desk, and when people communicated with friends in other
countries by actual letters sent through the postal service. He wrote
225 of them to a friend. He stopped writing to his penpal, but found he
still wanted to record his life, in case he lost his memory again, and
wrote 30 entries in his first logbook. Then he wrote to an artificial
intelligence called Geenee, in the master computer in his school for
gifted students, which he started attending in 2016. Now it's after
2018, and he's continuing to save his memories in a secure blog.
All characters are fictitious, even if some of them might have names
that belong to some actual people, or act like people we know.
The stories may not be posted in chronological order.
Stephen is 19 in this story, in Winter of year 9 of his special school.
Stephen's Secure Blog #368 "Not a Religion"
START Page
Len told me he and Don talked to those other religions. Part of that
was that they were going to ask my opinions about them in a show on
CNN, and if they wanted to talk to me about it before that. They both
did. I said to Len, "I want them together as a minimum, and with the
reps of the other religions, in a big meeting, as optimum. Think they
will go for that?" He said "I wouldn't, if I were them, and I'm very
glad I'm not them!" We laughed. He asked them, and they refused to have
the large group meeting, but agreed to meet in the pair, because I
wouldn't do it otherwise. Neither would allow me to port them, so we
met in one of the conference rooms in the big hogan conference center I
made for the wedding. There were one each, of Scientology and
Mormonism. I gave them a tour of the place, first.
In the conference room, I said, "Anything you need while you're here,
please let me know. I'm sorry we didn't get to know each other at my
wedding. We had an open invitation to all heads of religions, or their
representatives." The Mormon said, "And the first CNN show?" I said "I
suggested to them that they ask the people I played that strange golf
game with, to start with, because I had met them before, and any others
THEY suggested to come, who would agree to it, and I brought two of my
students, a Buddhist Lama, and a Christian Fundamentalist."
He said "I find it difficult to believe he is really that." I
grinned, and said, "So does he, and I." He had to smile back at me. I
said "He has some of the basic mental abilities that I have. Therefore,
he can see and understand a deeper reality that is beyond any one
religion. He still has his faith in Jesus, even more than ever. Want to
ask him yourself?" He looked surprised, and said, "You wouldn't tell
him what to say?" I said "I don't do that in any way to my students,
except when it involves my duty as a teacher. I value free will VERY
highly." He said "Yes, please." I said "He was sleeping. It's a
different time zone in Tibet. He'll be here in a little more than a
minute. Yes, we can communicate mentally. No, it's not the same as
telepathy. It's just like talking. I could demonstrate it to each of
you, if you wish." The Scientologist said, "Please." I said in in
contact, +It's just like this. There is no invasion of privacy. Form
the words in your mind with me as your intent for me to hear them, and
I will.+ He said +This is amazing!+ I said +That HAS been heard
before.+ He laughed. I said +Breaking contact now.+ He said to the
Mormon, "It's just like talking! Amazing!" The Mormon said, "Did you
feel any danger, or invasion of privacy?" He said "Not a bit. It's just
mindtalk."
The Mormon said, "May I try it?" I said "Sure, but how about
something a little different? Suppose we all do it together?" They
looked at each other, and then to me, and said, "Yes." I did that, and
said the same things again, and they did the same, too. Then I closed
it. They both said "Wow!" I said "Now you might have some idea why I
wanted you together. One of you alone, might not believe it happened.
And there is er, safety in numbers, for all of us." They were
thoughtful, and nodded, and looked at me with some appraisal. The
Mormon said, "I see some of the reports about you are correct. Your
wisdom is obvious, and how you express it does show you are a very good
teacher." I bowed.
Eli ported in. I did the introductions. The Mormon asked him a lot of
questions, and was impressed, and a little irritated that he couldn't
get what he really wanted. I said "While I was talking privately with
the Pope in my house in Tibet, the Pope's people were going at Eli like
hungry wolves on a newborn lamb. He survived that, too." We all
laughed.
I said "There is going to be a show on CNN. They are going to ask me
a lot of tough questions that they've been saving up. Because I've not
mentioned your religions in public before, they are going to push me to
say something about them. I am unable to lie. I've said things about
the other religions that some in them probably didn't have much love
for." Eli laughed. That made the others chuckle. I said "My friends
find such things entertaining. Anyway, I thought I would give you an
advantage they didn't have. Do you have anything you would like to say
to me, about what you think I might say about your religions, in your
er, defense? You have the opportunity to make me change my mind, that
they didn't have a chance to, before I er, mouthed off."
The Mormon said "We have improved." I said "Yes you have. Your
founder wasn't the most respectable of people. Big difference now.
Remarkable, considering what you had to work with." He grinned, and
nodded, and said, "Thank you." I said "I see our associate is at a loss
here." He said "I sure am. Do you mean Smith was something bad?" I said
to the Mormon, "May I tell him?" He said "It's known history, so you
might as well." I said "He was a con man, wanted by the law in a lot of
states that he had to leave in a hurry. I don't mean the religion.
Those were real cons, and hurt good people." He said "Wow! But the
religion?" I said "Actually, yes, and his biggest. But after his death,
those who believed, wouldn't give it up, but they did make it a lot
more sane and useful over the years." The Mormon nodded, and said, "We
don't admit that to outsiders." I said "And that's a problem for me. A
lie like that by omission, is dishonorable, and potentially harmful to
those it might affect." He nodded.
The Scientologist said, "I see we're going to have problems." I said
like I was innocent, "Whatever do you mean?" They laughed, Eli the
most. The Scientologist said "We keep a lot of secrets." I said "And if
I make trouble for you? What are you going to do about that?" He said
"Yes, that is a problem in itself. If we do the usual, with vicious
personal attacks, and I don't see any point in denying that now, it
will boomerang, even if you personally don't do anything about it. Your
love and healing broadcasts, and just who you are, makes you
unassailable, or the Catholics would already have pounded you to dust."
Eli went hysterical with laughter, which caused us to laugh at him. He
said "You don't know the half of it!" He said to me, "Are you going to
tell them about your Cardinal encounter in your previous life, that
started their er, interest in you?" I said "On the show, yes. Don's
reaction is going to be interesting. That little incident was a little
unusual." Eli said to the others, "When Stephen resorts to
understatements, it signals his modesty is trying to minimize something
really big." I said with a sigh, "You asked if I would tell him what to
say. It wouldn't work." They laughed.
I said "When it comes to child abuse, I kind of cause people to view
me with caution." Eli said "Don't you mean abject terror?" I said
"Well, yes. That, too." I looked hard at the Scientologist, who said in
a hurry, "Thank you for the warning. We WILL make changes! Please say
that on the show." I said "If I see that, I will. I must be fair, but
remember, I also must be just. Causing those who cause others to suffer
unjustly, to feel that suffering themselves, is just." Eli went very
serious, and said, "And it will hurt him to do that, but that doesn't
stop him." I said "Next time I'll have to implant a command not to
commit suicide." He said "I saw the recording. They had to let him do
it. Those agonizing screams!" The Mormon said, "I'm afraid to ask, but
what was his crime?" I said "He stabbed to death three people in their
beds. A man and a woman, and their little girl, so he could take their
baby who had seen him do it. We made him relive those memories of what
he did, from the viewpoints of his victims, and with all their pain and
anguish, every hour of every day that he lived." They said "Wow!" I
said "I don't get to choose what consequences to impose or not to
impose. I must do what is right, or things will become worse, with such
imbalances becoming greater."
The Scientologist said "You said 'we'. What do you mean by that?" I
said "I have students. I use everything for teaching. Some were with me
on that, which we were requested to investigate." He said "You
investigate crimes?" I said "Yes, but rarely. It's bad for our spirits,
and bad for law enforcement. When we do that, we take over the case,
completely, including the final disposition. We seldom are asked." He
said "I sure believe that!"
going. Right. We don't actually worship anything supernatural." Eli
grinned his face almost in half. I said to them, "Want to know why he's
trying to sprain his cheeks?" They did. I said "I don't worship,
either." The Scientologist said "Wow!" I said "I hear that a lot." They
laughed. I said "In my opinion, and that has been verified, no mature
entity would want to be worshiped. The whole idea is disgusting, that
God would demand that. I converse with Him, and I obey Him, but I do
not ever want to disgust Him with worship. I've been proclaimed a
Buddhist, because I am a Buddha to their perceptions, and because I
know more about all kinds of Buddhism than anybody who ever lived, and
because I act like a Buddhist, more than they do. But then, I act more
like Jesus would approve of, than almost all modern Christians, and
it's the same for knowledge of it. With present versions of religions,
I appose deceitful misuse of words and labels. In a true religion,
there is deity worship. That means that Scientology is not a true
religion, even though some of its members treat it as such, and defend
it with a fanaticism that is found only in true religions, or the
seriously mentally disturbed, which I view as not being all that
different." They nodded. I said to him, "The Mormon Faith started as a
big con, and has become a worthwhile religion. Your organization has
reversed that path. And it's not even a science. I know that more than
ALL, because I do, successfully, what you try to do, unsuccessfully. I
am clear. So is Eli. So are many of my other students. At present, none
of your members are, irrespective of the labels you use for some of
them."
He said, despondently, "We have been afraid of this. What you do,
teleporting and such, is theoretically what a clear person is supposed
to be able to do, but none of us have ever come close to that. Do you
know why?" I said "Yes. I select only the people who CAN learn to be
so, as my students. My advantage is that I can SEE their
qualifications, as early in their lives as ten years old. Eli came to
us as an adult. It usually takes a lot more effort for them to become
clear. He wasn't expected to progress as far as he has. I attribute
that, in part, to his faith, and the dedication it enabled him to have.
I'm VERY happy he is doing so well." We hugged.
I said "And one more thing has been holding you back. Love. You need
to understand and embrace love, in order to become truly clear." Eli
said "And NOBODY knows more about THAT than Stephen!" I cleared my
throat, and said, "There is more. A clear person is unable to lie. A
person who lies can't become clear. Lying creates faults and blockages
in the mind, and establishes false values. Imagine your sanity as a
brick wall without mortar. Each lie, removes one brick in a random
place. Removing a brick is a lot easier than replacing it. When too
many are gone, that wall will come tumbling down." Eli said "Our
teachings don't interfere with one's religion or faith. Mine is
stronger than ever." The Scientologist said "Will you teach us?"
I said "There is a little misunderstanding here. It's not the goal of
my own school to make people clear. Our purpose and goal is to
recognize and train unusually talented people to use their entire
beings to their full potential. Becoming clear is but one necessary
step in that process. One can be clear and not have any special
abilities, but one can't learn to use my kind of advanced special
abilities reliably, without being clear. In a limited way, your
theories about how to become clear are partially correct, but your
methods, while they are of some limited usefulness, just don't work,
because of the environment in which they are used. You remove limiting
blockages in your subjects' minds, only to replace them with your own.
That's so like a religion, you might think it's scary." He had to laugh
in surprise.
I said "We are starting universities in Tibet, and some of what we
teach our own students, is being slowly introduced there. Well, they
see us, and who we are, and you know how that goes. Some even asked to
learn about Buddhism, over some Christians' objections, until the
Pope's representative to er, me, intervened." The Mormon said "YOU have
a Papal Nuncio?" I said "Er, yes. But I don't own him." Eli said,
"Sure!" They laughed. I said "Back to the subject. We ARE teaching, but
we are so few, we can't teach all we want to, directly, and it really
has to be direct. So, we are teaching teachers who are able to accept
our learning, and they will teach other teachers, who will teach
students. We are doing it in Tibet, because our technology is not
understandable by regular science, and so can't be used where they
would try to regulate it." The Scientologist said, "We sure do
understand that!" I said "So, we can't teach it to you here, and we
aren't ready to do that out in the open even in Tibet. We are doing it
only in the Monasteries now. It will take years before everybody will
have the opportunity to learn as much as they can accept of what we can
teach them."
He said "I want to ask you about something you keep saying. Do you
mean that only some people can become clear?" I said "It takes a lot of
work and effort, and some of it is painful. Even if we discount the
required talents and intelligence, few would have the kind of
dedication to go all the way. We can't lie to them, and tell them that
ALL can be the best in everything. How many martial artists ever become
tenth degree black belts, no matter how hard might they try? Right. We
really are not all created equal. To God we are, but compared to each
other, we are not." They nodded. I said "For the level of my best
students, only about one in a billion per generation will make it. To
Eli's level, we just don't know. To many unknown variables. I estimate,
if we could locate and teach all the possible candidates, between one
and two hundred per billion. Unfortunately, we can't predict who will
succeed at that level, like we can for the highest qualified, for which
an IQ of at least 160 at age ten is required, along with other talents.
But those who can't become completely clear, have two options. One, is
that they can become more sane, and better people, because being clear,
or enlightened, isn't an end, but a never ending journey. I am still
improving. Another option, is reincarnation. It's taken me almost two
thousand lives to reach my final life. What doesn't happen for them in
this life, if they do well, might just happen in the next. That's what
lives are for."
I said "You have another problem. What really is being clear, and
when along the path to that, is one considered to have achieved it?
Buddhists call it enlightenment, and have been studying it for
thousands of years. To learn more about it, I suggest you look into
that. You can start with my book on the Buddha. You don't have to be a
Buddhist to use the principles they express, just like Eli didn't have
to be anything but what he already was, to become clear." Eli said
"That's true. Just because there is some useful teaching in Buddhism,
doesn't make that teaching off limits for those of other religions, and
the other way around." They nodded. I said "The Buddha did NOT intend
to make a religion, and would be opposed to people worshiping him. He
was a teacher, who taught people how to be what you call clear, what
The Buddha called the 'Awakened'. That's ALL."
I said "You have one more problem. The others in your er, hierarchy
won't believe you about this. Any of this. And even if some did, they
would not allow one of us to have any say in your establishments." He
said "That's true. It really shows that this isn't something to be
learned from a book. It has to be in person. And from a clear person at
that." I said "For some of it, yes." The Mormon nodded. He said "I'm
not going to have that problem of believability. We have been studying
you, as I assume my colleague here has. We accept you, and actually
like and admire you. At least those of us in the higher levels of our
Church. Many of us personally agree with your views on homosexuality,
but our faithful, who support us very well, do not. I know you
understand that." I said "It's like that in most religions, by their
very nature. The old saying about holding a tiger by the tail, seems to
be appropriate here." They both nodded. I said "Newton didn't invent
inertia, the faithful did." More nods. I said "I think I should ask CNN
to postpone their questions on your religions, until you feel more
comfortable with what might happen." The Scientologist said with a
lopsided grin, "You mean to after we desperately make some changes." I
said "Can you?" He said "I don't know, but I'll try." Eli said "I think
we can assume they will happen, one way or another." We all nodded.
I said "I can give you something that might help a little. But before
that, there is this to the both of you. In my opinion, which WILL be
shared when appropriate, religions which forbid people who might want
to join them, from seeing ALL the services they provide, and their
cost, before they join, are to be treated with a whole lot of
suspicion, verging on the run for your life situation. I have
determined that to be fair. Am I understood?" They said they did.
I said "Now for a little help. I have read all the texts on
Scientology. Here is a memory card that has a book I just wrote while
we were speaking, that corrects those texts with real modern, and
super-modern, science, that I have proved with who I am, and who my
students are. I might publish it someday, when I stop adding to it and
think it's finished. Until then, I ask that you keep it confidential.
It's for both of you." I gave them. The Mormon said, "This is a test,
isn't it." Eli said "All life is a test, but Stephen likes to assist it
wherever he can." The Mormon said to me with a smile, "Do you regret
inviting him here?" I said, in a plaintive drawn out way, "A little."
They laughed. I said "And now to aid our believability. What do you
know of psychometry?" The Scientologist said, "It's reading psychic
impressions of people who have handled objects, in those objects." I
said "Something like that, yes. I know how it works, and some of us can
put our feelings and memories in objects so that anybody can read them.
Crystals work best for that. These contain an AV recording of this
meeting, which will be updated to the moment we leave. You read it by
putting it to your forehead. It's part of our teaching technology." The
Scientologist said "How is it used in teaching?" I said "Instant
memorization. What you read in it can't be forgotten. Imagine acquiring
a whole college course in an instant." They said "Wow!" I said "It does
have its disadvantages. How often one can take a course crystal depends
on one's intelligence and mental skills. For the average person, about
one every two weeks. For one with an IQ of 200, about one every day.
And the student must USE the knowledge creatively, for useful
education. Memorization by itself, isn't learning or teaching." They
nodded. Then they tried the crystals, and said, "Wow!" I said "You
might want to think of another word to replace that, when you wear it
out." They laughed in reaction.
I said "One more thing, which isn't going to be in the crystal.
Here's another card of the book, which also includes my book on The
Buddha, which is also on the other card, as a backup, in case the one
they know about, is er, misplaced." They gave me some knowing nods. I
stood, and they did. I said "This won't be in it, either." I held out
my arms, and they didn't hesitate to come into them. Eli helped them to
sit down to recover. I said "Thank you for this visit. I think we can
be friends. Contact me for anything important. Eli can escort you out.
Remember, I will always love you. Farewell." I ported home.
We waited for Eli. After he ported in and undressed, we talked. Hawk
said "That went much better than I expected." We all agreed. Chad said,
"That book. Ready to be published?" I said "I don't know. Might not be
finished, and I don't know WHEN it should be published." He said "Can I
see?" I gave him a crystal of it. He said "Wow! Some of this is new!"
After I nodded, he passed it around. They agreed with him, but didn't
make any other comments. We just sat and exchanged our love.
